They aren't worms...

After drawing the wisteria stems last week, I played around with some imaginary stems. I wanted to capture form, light and shadow and the relative position of the objects. The drawing was cropped a little to fit on the scanner.
It wasn't difficult to do, although it was a lot of work. I drew the "worms" with a double line, just drawing through them. Then I used an eraser to create the "overs and unders".
After that I did the shading.
I've done a lot of
celtic type designs, so this was not altogether new to me.
Today was the last class of Deb's Beginners II course and I hope she will have enough takers to start an intermediate class in July.
